Patient Stories

Dave - Urgent care

Ben W. Kittredge, IV, MD

My Story:

Thanks to my care at OrthoVirginia, I can get about daily life without complications.

Dr. Ben Kittridge helped me significantly on three separate occasions - right and left shoulder rotator cuff repair and bone chip removal, but the most memorable was treatment for a broken humerous suffered during an at-home accident late one Friday afternoon. With visions of emergency squad/ER delays and days-long complications for getting treatment, I fought through rush-hour traffic to arrive at his offices on Duke Street unannounced just at closing time. After a quick x-ray and assessment, I was out the door with a sling, medication prescription and PT referral, 15 minutes after walking in the door. A remarkable and most welcome experience.
